I am playing a Sorcerer/Barbarian hybrid and using the whirling slayer Barbarian class feature wielding two Longswords with seperate enhancements. I am also basing my character around using thunder and lightning powers, and to add flavor to my character I also had him worship Kord. I am just now realizing that Kord has a very beneficial holy symbol that fits my play style perfectly. My question is simple. Can I cast through my holy symbol while dual wielding longswords? I have been getting mixed answers throughout the forums, and in the character builder the holy symbol won't even show up on my power cards unless it is being held.

Yes you can use a implement without having to hold it in your hand, simply by wearing it.

RC 274Holy Symbol:Associated with the divine power source, a holy symbol represents a deity and bears an emblem or an image of the god. Unlike other implements, a holy symbol can be used whether it is held or worn. If a creature wears or holds more than one holy symbol, none of these symbols function until only one remains (this rule is usually relevant only to magic holy symbols).

To the OP: it's worth noting that you need, with this layout, to have three attack items all at the right enhancement bonus, which is going to get hideously expensive at later levels. You might want to look into using a Ki Focus.
